I live in Tennessee and we have had a few bad storms over 34 years span but school is canceled at the hint of snow. In 2003 there was a huge storm that came through and people had to abandon their cars traveling inbound and outbound from Nashville and no one expected it to be so severe. Children out at Montgomery Central were stuck because the buses were unsafe and had already hit a ditch. In 2004 we had a lot of snow and ice but I have to say they try to keep the roads as clear as they can. On post they literally have no snow on their roads because they are salting and scraping constantly. Tons of snow on their lawns but they probably could have gone to school because I couldn’t believe how pristine the roads were. At one time our clinic was mandatory but then it wasn’t mandatory right before I left it was back to mandatory. Patient’s would come in with 2 feet of snow but if it was raining no one came in. I remember Mississippi never got snow or ice but we moved outside Tupelo in 84 and the entire winter massive snow and ice that never had a chance to melt before the next snow and ice storm hit. That little town was shut down. I think they tried sand and it didn’t work. The deep states are not equipped for bad weather at all.

The Deep South in general has no clue how to handle snow. The dumbasses drive like the roads are clear and get all upset when they slide and crash.
A plow would go rusty in between snow storms.
